Paragon Automotive is expanding its corporate PDI service to handle twice the annual volume at its 11 sites across the UK.

Paragon provides dealers with new car inspection and PDI, vehicle preparation, delivery and customer handover and de-fleet services.

The service helps dealers exploit the growing leasing market, a sector that showed nearly 12% year-on-year growth in October and is worth £25.7billion a year. 

Paragon currently provides corporate PDI services for Sytner, Benfield, Citygate Volkswagen, and Windrush Volkswagen. 

Commenting on the expansion, Ian Carlisle (pictured), chief executive officer of Paragon, said: “By outsourcing the preparation, delivery and management of these vehicles it provides dealer groups with a scalable and responsive solution that frees up valuable workshop space for other, more profitable activities."
